Julien Sublet Guitars
Julien Sublet builds custom guitars in Quebec City, where a Swiss cabinetmaking background meets the North American steel-string tradition he studied at Quebec's National Luthiery School before opening his own shop in 2017. His instruments carry an unmistakable visual signature — the straight lines and geometry of Art Deco set against the organic curves of the guitar — over voices built around premium tonewoods, ergonomics, and recording-ready clarity. His Grand Auditorium, which he calls the perfect middle ground between a dreadnought and an OM, is the model players meet most.
Brickhouse Guitars
Brickhouse Guitars operates out of a converted brick house on Lancaster Street in Kitchener, Ontario — the building's history is the shop's name. The catalog runs across two distinct spaces: a Main Level store carrying the broader retail mix (Godin family acoustics, Furch's accessible-price series, Recording King, Washburn) and an Upper Luthier Gallery upstairs, by-appointment only, where the boutique work lives. The Upper Gallery is anchored by the deepest Furch and Boucher SGI Collection inventory in North America, paired with an unusually consistent stockist relationship with the Quebec luthier community — Michel Pellerin, Julien Sublet, Dontcho Ivanov, Théo Kazourian, and Bouchereau all appear regularly. Sheldon Schwartz and TreeHouse Guitars from Ontario, Ciarán McNally from Northern Ireland, and Hozen's tiered line round out the boutique slate. Pre-owned inventory rotates through Santa Cruz, Collings, Bourgeois, and other high-end American shops. The shop also operates Octane Studios at The Octave Music Centre, a sister recording space where the shop's video demos are recorded — useful context for shoppers comparing online demos against the live instrument. For shoppers focused on Furch, Boucher, or the Quebec luthier community, Brickhouse is the deepest single-dealer catalog in Canada.
